Feature · Keyword Position Movers

Which keywords actually moved, and on which device

The keyword-level twin of URL Position Movers: every tracked query's impression-weighted average position, previous period against current, with the same scatter, segment breakdown and click-impact chart — except the segment here is device, not section.

Keywords that gained or lost organic position — position movement scatter plot of previous vs current position
Movement by segment and segment position movement broken down by device
Movement by segment splits Mobile, Desktop and Tablet — a keyword climbing on mobile while sliding on desktop is two different fixes.
Same mechanics, keyword granularity

A query can win on mobile and lose on desktop at once

Google ranks the same query differently by device more often than most reports admit. Keyword Position Movers breaks Movement by segment and Segment crossing down by Desktop, Mobile and Tablet, so a keyword's net position change never hides two opposite stories underneath it.

  • Position movement scatter — previous position against current position for every tracked query, bubble size is the click change.
  • Minimum position change filter — set a threshold so decimal-level averaging noise doesn't fill the chart with non-moves.
  • Movement by segment: device — net gained minus lost keywords for Desktop, Mobile and Tablet, each with its own impression reach shown.
  • Segment position movement — the previous-vs-current scatter rolled up per device, so you see the shape of a platform-wide shift at a glance.
  • Segment crossing table — device against position band (1–10, 11–20, 21–50, 51+, Entered), net gained minus lost, symmetric around zero.
  • Position impact chart — position improvement against click change for every keyword ranked in both periods, quadrant-read for whether the move actually paid off.
  • Full data table, exportable — keyword, group, previous/current/change for position, clicks and impressions, downloadable as CSV.
Reading the scatter

Same five marker states, keyword by keyword

Improved, Worsened, No change, Does not rank (100+) and Ranks poorly (100+) — the same reading rules as URL Position Movers apply here, because the underlying mechanic is identical: an impression-weighted average position compared across two periods. What changes is the entity: a search query instead of a landing page.

  • Improved / Worsened / No change — colored consistently with every other position-movement chart in AmICited.
  • 100+ edge markers — a keyword absent from one period plots at the edge as entered or left, not silently dropped.
  • Bubble size = click change — the size answers whether a rank move actually moved traffic.
  • Break down by Device — the one dimension unique to the keyword view, since a page has one URL but a query has multiple device audiences.
Five marker states, not just up or down
Improved Better position than last period
Worsened Worse position than last period
No change Same average position
Does not rank now Ranked before, not in this period
Ranks poorly before Wasn't ranking, ranks now
Position impact chart and full keyword data table with position, clicks and impressions columns
1,014 entered and 668 left in this run — both counts shown above the chart, both excluded from Position Impact since neither has a prior-period position to compare against.
Did the move pay off

Position Impact, per keyword

The same four-quadrant read as the URL view: gained position and gained clicks, lost both, or the two mismatched quadrants where rank and clicks moved in opposite directions — often the fingerprint of an AI Overview or a SERP feature absorbing clicks a plain ranking move should have earned.

  • Four quadrants, four verdicts — read position change against click change at a glance, per keyword.
  • Full table underneath — Keyword, Group, and Previous/Current/Change for Position, Clicks and Impressions.
  • Export CSV — the filtered, sorted table, ready for a spreadsheet or a content brief.
  • Entered and Left counted, not hidden — new and disappeared keywords are surfaced as their own number, never folded silently into Moved.
3 device segments, read independently Desktop, Mobile and Tablet each get their own gained/lost counts and their own segment scatter — a query moving in opposite directions across devices is visible instead of averaged away. See URL Position Movers

See every keyword that gained or lost rank, by device

Previous position against current position, split by Desktop, Mobile and Tablet — so a keyword winning on one device and losing on another is never averaged into a false non-move.
